soLnxaING DEVICE.

Application filed April 2B, 1927. Serial No.'187,294.

The present invention relates to improve-'- ments in soldering devices and has for its princi al object to provide as an article of vmanu acture'a soldering device for securing the adjacent ends of two or more wires, rods,

or the like together without necessitating the employment of a blow-torch or soldering iron.

One of the important objects of the pres'- ent invention is to provide asoldering device which includes a hollow open ended member' of highly conductive material which is filled with a soldering paste in which com osition is incorporated a' quantity of ux, t e ends of the wires which are'to be united extending into the soldering paste through the respec tive ends of the open ended conductive inember, a covering of highly vinflammable material vbeing provided'over the highly Vconductive hollow member whereby the heat generated bythe burning of the inflammable covering will act upon the soldering paste. to effect the cleaning of the adjacent ends of the wires and also unite the same together in the hollow member whereb to form a permanent joint or connection between said wires.

A still further object is to provide a sol- V dering device of the above mentionedcharacter wherein the ends of the hollow highly conductive .member are sealed with puncturable closures to prevent the soldering paste from flowing out ofthe `hollow member.

A still further object is to provide a soldering device of the above mentioned character which .is simple in construction, inexpensive, strong, and durable and v further well adapted to thel purpose for which it is designed.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the follow` ing description taken in connection with the therethrough.

f Figure 7 is an end elevation ofthe solthe form of tube used for connecting two ends of a pair of wires together.

In the drawing wherein 'forthe purpose referred eme numeral 1 iates an elongated tube which is prefof illustration is'shown the odiment of the invention, t

esi

erab y formed of copper whereby the same will provide an excellentrheat conductor.4 The tube is open at its respective ends and when the Vsame is used for uniting or connecting the adjacent ends of two wires together, the same is bent inthe shape as wires, then thesame is formedin the manner as shown in Figure 2. 'v With referencev now to Figure l, it will belobservedthat the 'upper-portion ofthe tube will receivethe l adjacent ends A and B of two wires and the lower portion of the tube will be pressed together as illustrated at 2.

In\Figure 2 the upper 3 is of a width capable o jacent ends of one pair of wires. portion of this tube is formed with .the

longitudinally extending loo 4 for receivirton of the'itube" 4 L receivin the ade-lower ing the free end C of 'a brano or third wire.

-The tube' in each instance is iilled with a y soldering pastedesignated generally by the numeral 5 and incorporated in this soldering paste is a quantity of flux vwhich acts `as acleanin agent for the scraped ends of the wires w ich 'are to be united together in thetube. The paste'is of such consistf'ency as to permity the ends of the wires which are to be united to be readily and easily iiiserted therein.

For the purpose of preventing the solder-i ing paste from flowing out through the open s ends of, the tube, the open ends of the tube are sealed by the provision of puncturable closures 6. These closures are preferably formed of wax and the scraped ends of pierce these closures prior to inserting the ends of the wires in the soldering paste Athe wires which are to be united may readily -l v y The tube 1 is-then dipped in shellac and a strip of paper or other material containing on itor in it a mixture of high caloric power when burned is placed over this tube to form a highly iniammable coverin which is designated by the numeral 7 e ends of the strip of paper Aconstituting1 the inflammable coverlngJ are secured toget er in any appropriate manner and the covering is disposed over theftube in'such a manner as to provide air passagesbetween the tube` and the coveringas indicated at 8 with reference more 'particularl' to Figures 3, 5, 6 and 7 in the tube 1 which is a relatively' high conductor' of heat will transmit the heat to tbe soldering paste and the flux incorporated therein `whereby the composition Within the tube will be melted and after the flux has cleaned the scraped ends of the wires, the soldering paste will unite the wires in the tube either by uniting both of the Wires to the tube or. by uniting 'one of 'the wires with the tube and simultaneously uniting the wires together. In this manner, a permanent connection between the wires and the tube will be provided.

. he provision of a soldering device of the above mentioned character will save considerable expense in vsoldering the .ends of wires or other members which are to be connected together and furthermore by employ ing a soldering device of the character such as is embodied in the present invention, it

will not be necessary to use a blow torch or" soldering iron such as must now be employ* ed while performing a soldering operation.

Also by providing a soldering device of the character above described, the same can ,be easily carried around and due to its simplicity, the device can be manufactured at a very low cost. Furthermore, the soldering l A device will at all times be positive and eiicient in carrying outthe purposes for which it is designed.

In Figure 6 of the drawin there is shown a modification of the tube w erein the same isof such shape as to permit the adjacent ends of two wires to fit'snugly therein, the

vtube being designated by the numeral 9, and

it is of course to be understood that the tube is filled with a soldering paste into which the adjacent ends of the Wires extend. A covering of inflammable material 10 is disposed around this tube 9, and anl air space 11 is provided between a portion of the cov ering and the tube.

In Figure 8 a still further. modification of the tube is shown Where the same is adapted to be used for cooperation with adjacent ends of two wires and this tube is designated the numeral 12.

While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention it is to be understood f that minor changes in the size, shape and. arrangement of parts may be resortedto Without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what In a soldering device of the class described,

a tube open at its respective ends, a soldering paste filling for the tube, puncturable closures for the open ends of the tube, and a covering of inflammable material for the tube, said covering being spaced from the tube to provide an air passage.

In testimony whereof I afiix myl signature.
